The 34-year-old, who was trailing in the second frame, knew he needed to pull something special out of the bag to reverse the momentum of his quarter-final showdown against the Welshman.
And he did exactly that, stroking a delicate drive down the length of the table which banked off the top cushion before hitting the side cushion to push a solitary red into the middle pocket.It drew audible gasps from those watching at Venue Cymru in Llandudno.And those following the action on Twitter were left equally impressed after the footage was posted online this afternoon.“What a shot,” read one comment.Another said: “Awesome shot, such control.”
Unfortunately for the Leicester man, his mind-boggling effort was to be in vain as he fell 6-3 to home favourite Day.
It was Day’s 12th victory on the spin, after the 37-year-old emerged victorious from the Gibraltar Open and the Romanian Masters earlier tournaments this year.
